Bugatti sitting on $85M stockpile of unsold Veyrons

[Policy Limits]

Gen v rears are close to a thousand bucks each installed...ouchie

I like them for the engineering marvel they were when first introduced. I feel they are uniquely beautiful. When I see one they grab my attention.

With deliveries of the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari underway or soon to be underway, the Bugatti Veyron’s technology is unquestionably being overshadowed. As a result, one could argue the Veyron is being forgotten about as these three hypercars fast become the most desirable cars on the market.

And this leads us to the problem Volkswagen is facing. It currently has about 40 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport to sell totalling around $85 million. What’s more, Bugatti executives say that development of the next-generation Veyron won’t begin until all remaining units are sold out and that could take quite some time.
While speaking about this, sales director for the Americas John Hill said, “There will be no introduction on any new model until the Grand Sport and Vitesse are sold out. Even though we estimate we’ll be sold out within 12 months, I wouldn’t expect an announcement for a couple years down the road.”

It is somewhat worrying to think that in the 5 years the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport has been available, only about 110 units have been sold. By comparison, both the 499 units of the LaFerrari and 375 examples of the McLaren P1 sold out just weeks after the cars were revealed.

Sounds a bit like another sports car that rhymes with Diaper

Overpriced car, not a bang for the buck and selling in the past few years in a recession recovering global economy.

Not a very good mix when looking for sales. Would you rather spend 2 million or 500 thousand when things are tuff in that market.

Its like trying to sell the Viper for 130K or a 75K Corvette under the same conditions.

I think the new vette at the international auto show was only 50's...and that was a Vert...could be mistaken though.

Base price is in the 50's, which you and I know you can't get a base car. they all have options attached from the factory which brings them up to well over 70K

In twenty months you can buy one for 35k

So true...but i'll also be able to buy a Gen V for 70K then...I hope

Not a GTS, and still doubt a base; previous gen's all four of them have held pretty good value on average. So based on history the viper, including the gen V, does and probably will sustain much less depreciation than the corvette.

HEY !! I had first dibs on your car policy !! no fair !!

Also, Policy, if you buy a Huracan, can you please get yours in the white or orange color ? I just want you to order in the color I prefer since I plan on buying that off you 2nd hand also -- (:

Will know on Friday how the Huracan looks in person; hope they have a different car than the one shown in NYC as I think grey/silver is too subtle for a Lambo; my favorite variant on the baby bull is the Performante model, which is like a combo of the spyder and the superleggera; hope to see this variant on this new gen bull

As for the snake, gonna hold on to it until the next ACR debuts; the TA and GT variants are tempting, but only teasers for the flagship variant
